The treatment of hydrocephalus has undergone remarkable transformation since it was first documented over two thousand years ago. Currently, the focus of hydrocephalus research is on minimally invasive techniques of treatment. This article reviews the evolution of hydrocephalus therapy, and examines current attitudes towards modern methods. We relied on journal publications, as well as literatu...

Abstract Background Encephaloceles are cystic congenital malformations in which central nervous system (CNS) structures, communication with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pathways, herniate through a defect the cranium. Hydrocephalus occurs 60–90% of patients occipital encephaloceles. Objective Assessment surgical management hydrocephalus associated encephalocele and its effect on clinical outcome. ...

The present study aims to explore the clinical characteristics and best intervention modality METHODS detailed data of children admitted Department Pediatrics Guangdong Sanjiu Brain Hospital from January 2010 December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. effect ...

AIM The purpose of this prospective study was to describe memory problems of adult patients with hydrocephalus. MATERIAL AND METHODS The research group consisted of healthy adults (control group) and hydrocephlic adults (hydrocephalus group). The hydrocephalus group (n: 19) had no clinical signs or symptoms of increased intracerebral pressure. The control group (n:20) was chosen from healthy ...

Amenorrhea is rarely presented as a manifestation of endocrinological disturbances in patients of chronic hydrocephalus. We describe two cases of secondary amenorrhea caused by hydrocephalus due to aqueductal stenosis. Two female patients of age 30 and 20 yr presented with amenorrhea and increasing headache. Magnetic resonance images revealed marked, noncommunicating hydrocephalus without any t...

Vestibular schwannomas are common, and gamma knife radiosurgery is a treatment option of symptomatic tumors. Hydrocephalus may be a complication of gamma knife treatment of vestibular schwannoma, though the cause-and-effect relationship can be debated because tumors can cause hydrocephalus without treatment. We present an MR imaging study of an unusual case of communicating hydrocephalus after ...

purpose : to report an association of ligneous conjunctivitis (lc) and congenital hydrocephalus case report : the patient was a 3.5-year-old boy with a history of long standing conjunctivitis with copious ocular discharge and photophobia, waxing and waning for some time. he also had suffered from occlusive congenital hydrocephalus that required placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. conjunc...

The taxonomy of simply deformed paradoxidids from the Miaolingian (Cambrian) Slowiec Hill, Holy Cross Mountains, Poland, is revised based on morphometric analysis. material represents two species: Acadoparadoxides slowiecensis (Czarnocki in Orlowski, 1965) and Hydrocephalus ? polonicus 1965). A new assemblage zone combined although not precisely known ranges these taxa suggested replacing previ...

We studied the pyramidal neurons of hippocampus in neonatal, juvenile and adult rats with hydrocephalus varying durations related these changes to their learning memory. Hydrocephalus was induced 7-day-old neonates, 4-week-old 16-week-old Albino by intra-cisternal injection 0.02-0.04 ml 150mg/ml kaolin sterile water (150 mg/ml). escape latency platform crossings Morris maze prior animal sacrifi...

drugs that could be used in conjunction with surgery to treat this debilitating neurological disease. receptor may be new therapeutic targets for developing 1 the fetal mice. These results suggest that LPA and its LPA receptor antagonist blocked the ability of LPA to induce hydrocephalus in 1 came with their demonstration that an LPA receptor, they were unable to induce hydrocephalus. The key f...
